Encaustic painting is a form of art that involves heating bees wax
to which coloured pigments and mixed media can be layered throughout.
Molten bees wax is applied to a prepared wood base.
pigmentation Is added in the form of inks, oil paints and dried powdered pigments.
In my paintings, there can be as many as ten layers, with each one heat-fused to the preceding layer.
Hidden within these layers I build depth and story
with the added elements of papers, cicada wings, feathers and other found objects.
I scratch, etch, imbed and paint until the image sits right with me and is born.
preserved forever in clear polished bees wax.
all feathers and bug wings have been ethically collected. most washed up on the beach.
I will start carefully packing up your beautiful encaustic art straight away and send it with australia post within 3 days of purchase. All packages will be insured. please make sure you leave your email to get order confirmation.
